Sannce DVR power light flashing
A rapidly flashing green power LED usually indicates that the camera’s firmware has encountered an error. This is rare but can occasionally happen after an unexpected power cut (if the camera is in the middle of performing a task), due to incorrect settings in the camera (too many enabled tasks, conflicting settings etc.), or due to a faulty SD card.
This can usually be resolved with a reset of the camera.

Sannce CCTV Network Error
Plug DVR or NVR into the router with a network cable if you want to use a computer or phone to connect the recorder locally or remotely.
You can judge whether the recorder was connected to the internet by the status of a network like the picture below.
If the status is not connected, it means the recorder did not connect to the cloud successfully.
Here are the methods:
Please check the yellow and green light on the Ethernet port of the recorder. One should be blinking which indicates the recorder has connected to the router successfully. If not, please change the Ethernet port of the router or another reticle to have a try.
Go to the Main menu–>System–>Network to confirm DHCP is ticked.
Please restore the recorder to the factory default setting.
If you have, please change to another router to have a try.
Please sent an email to support@sannce.com to ask for new firmware to upgrade. But you need to inform us of the model of your system. It is made up of numbers and letters such as DL81A. You can find it at the bottom of the recorder. Please refer to this link to find it.
